A Week of Homemade Goodness: DAY 2: LAZY DAYS SKIRT

I have a small stash of unused fabrics under my bed, and I finally decided to do something with them. This Oliver and S skirt pattern is a complete cynch, even for the novice. I made it last night while hannah was in bed. I have had this fabric for ages and was going to donate it, but have decided to use a little first.

I like the vintage, hippy look of the mismatched fabric and ribbon and I am pleased to have used a 5 year old ufo; a beaded flower that I sewed for no particular reason, has now found a new home as a pocket. I am sure it will be filled with twigs and pebbles and dirt soon enough. It is a bit big for hannah, as I just geussed the measurements but it will be fine for next summer. Can you believe I actually slid it on Hannah's little sleeping body so I could see what it looked like on! It feels so good to use a ufo, even a little one. I am completely inspired to go through my whole box and finish them all off. But I remind myself, baby steps!
